Since Joe took the classic pre-'73 cars to Memory Lane, and then that folded, those deals are only found in a back lot of some house where you can see it from the street, if you're lucky.
Memory Lane closed? That's too bad. Last time I was there was in '95. It was a fun place to go searching for goodies.
